How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 23 ÷ 86 = 0.267442
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.267442 × 100 = 26.7442%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 26.7442% of 86 is 0.267442 × 86 = 23.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/86 = p/100, so p = 23 × 100 ÷ 86 = 26.7442%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =23/86*100. Dividing the wrong way round (whole ÷ part) gives a different answer. The number after “of” is always the whole, so it goes on the bottom.
